-The creative and artistic contributions of dozens of other members of Tiki Central to give it the true ohana feeling?

Wake up. You’re not dreaming.

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to:

Located in the heart of Alameda, California, Forbidden Island is the brainchild of Michael “Conga Mike” Thanos, Manny Thanos, and Martin “martiki” Cate. Opening in April 2006, prepare for a tiki adventure like no other.

______________________________________

We can’t tell you how excited we are about this. We look forward to working with all of you, sharing this process with the ohana, and making Forbidden Island a reality. There is so much to do and say, and so many surprises in store for everyone that we’ll simply close right here and direct you to our beautiful website from the one and only Humuhumu:

We are beyond excited. We're ready for it to be open now! It was a great night when Martiki came over to our place to visit a short time ago and let us in on the secret, and it was an honor when he asked for our help in developing the graphics and website. I think it's been very hard for Martin, Conga Mike and Mano to keep such an exciting secret, congratulations and the heartiest best of all luck to them now that they get to move forward full steam! The many tikiphiles in Alameda are lucky ducks. We're planning on spending enough time there to become honorary Alameda citizens.

It's been SOOOOOO hard keeping such an incredible secret, especially as of late, when rumors have started circulating and I had to all but deny them !!
Folks, this place is going to be incredible. We are so excited about establishing the first ever Tiki Bar in Alameda! MAno and myself are especially excited about having the genius that is Martiki aboard for this project...
We intend Forbidden Island to be a bar that all the TC Ohana will call home, while sipping on the intoxicating fruits of Tiki-past and Tiki-future!!
A special thanks to Humuhumu and Hanford for their incredible work getting the website and designs up and running in such little time.
Here's to the future folks...
Mahalo and Aloha !!!
